Jim Carrey’s Grinch comeback: What to know about 2025 rumors
A Facebook post by Disney Is My Life claimed that The Grinch 2 (2025) would see the green grouch cozy atop Mount Crumpit, battling corporate greed and hollow holiday cheer alongside a teenage Cindy Lou Who.
The post even stated that Benedict Cumberbatch would return as the Grinch, not Jim Carrey. However, none of these details hold any truth. The so-called plot, the casting, and the storyline are completely fabricated, and there is no confirmation of any such movie or plans.
The page further added that Whoville reportedly splits in two, a rival Grinch appears, and the story promises whimsical rhymes, dazzling animation, and festive charm. The post claims the film will release in December 2025, highlighting heart versus hype and the true spirit of Christmas.
However, none of these details have been officially confirmed, and there is no evidence that such a movie is in production or set to premiere, leaving the 2018 Grinch film, which truly stole the spotlight, as the lasting holiday favorite.
The Grinch, which grossed $540 million worldwide, captured audiences with its clever plot, turning holiday mischief and unexpected twists into a story that charmed viewers around the globe.
The Grinch: Mischief, mystery, and a heart that might change
In Whoville, excitement fills the air as Christmas approaches, but the grumpy, green-furred Grinch remains unmoved, living alone with his dog, Max. When young Cindy Lou Who tries to help her overworked mother, the Grinch’s scheming begins, aiming to steal the town’s decorations and gifts.
Yet as he executes his plan, unexpected encounters and heartfelt lessons touch his heart. Witnessing them celebrate despite his thefts, the Grinch’s lonely heart grows threefold, discovering the true magic of Christmas.

Cindy Lou’s invitation to Christmas dinner allows him to realize that his true grievance was loneliness, not the holiday itself. Though this 2018 classic is not available on Netflix, it continues to ignite curiosity and hope among audiences for another installment, sparking whispers of a possible Part 2.
